The definitive account of a crime that gripped America
In the early hours of June 5th, 2002 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was abducted at knifepoint from the bedroom of her well-to-do Salt Lake City family home. A massive manhunt ensued, but she seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Nine months later however, Elizabeth was discovered alive just a few miles from home – the prisoner of a man who believed he was a Messiah.
This feature-length documentary tells the inside story of this highly unusual case and includes interviews with Elizabeth's father and other family members who never gave up hope for their daughter, refusing to believe that she was dead. It was only due to the pressure that they placed on the police that kept the investigation alive and finally led to the discovery of Elizabeth, dressed and veiled in white, and walking with her captors, on the outskirts of Salt Lake City.
